CBS Cut Troubling Trump Rants From 60 Minutes Interview

tvApr 29, 2026164,127

CBS removed large portions of President Trump's 60 Minutes interview that aired after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, New Republic reported. The network omitted segments in which Trump rambled about his ballroom, commented on how attractive his Secret Service agents are, and likened No Kings protests to the Ku Klux Klan. Those edits change the public record of what the president said and raise transparency questions about how networks present presidential interviews.

Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.

I went through both and made a transcript of exactly what was included and what was cut from the shorter version that aired on network television. The final 13-minute edit that CBS broadcast on Sunday was a bit of a Frankenstein monster as the president was sometimes cut off mid-sentence while other sections were cut and moved around to give the conversation a better flow.

Throughout the longer un-edited interview the president gave disorganized rambling answers that were filled with false statements about foreign investment in the U.S., immigration, and the 2020 election. He also brought up transgender athletes more than once and trashed the Democratic Party and the members of the press.

well we’ve recently established this is a tort, so time for the dems to sue

If CBS can chop up an interview and air sentences out of order to make a favored interviewee seem more coherent ... can they do the same to make a dis-favored interviewee seem less coherent? It's going awfully far down the road to pure propaganda here.

Also, they violated their own settlement deal with Donald. Fuck them forever.

According to Trump and Bari, isn't this grounds for a massive lawsuit against CBS?

Bari edited interview & *didn‘t* take out “I’m not a rapist, I’m not a pedophile” & “You think he was referring to you?” Those are the headlines of that interview. They are Trump’s “I’m not a crook” moment but worse. That‘s what will be remembered. She is really bad at sycophanting.

I’m beginning to think she isn’t operating in good faith

Trump is currently suing the BBC for editing him!

Deborah18

Can we sue them for editing him? Some kind of class action suit?

lifeinthedesert.bsky.social12

The media in general have been providing a free editing services for Trump in video and print since his political career began. They clean it up for him because they think this is their job. He should have been quoted, in full and verbatim, from the beginning. Weiss is just more egregious not new.

The BBC would like a word too.

That does it! I am suing Bari Weiss and CBS for 10 Kajillion billion dollars for this slanted editing done to make tRump look good! Hey MAGAts, am I doing this correctly?

Nothing is ever on the level with the right. Nothing. Why do liberals keep being shocked by their contradictions and hypocrisy?

The Metaphysicalist5

I recall lawsuits were filed and media capitulations about editing. Perhaps it was all a dream. That's me in the corner, losing my mind.

Mark Hamann5

So, they unweaved the weave?

Sept 2023 Meet the Press Welker was Trump's first major interview after the Carroll rape case judgement May 2023. Welker did not ask the first POTUS in history found to committed RAPE any questions on it. Epstein Class Media Corruption! If Biden raped questions? www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

He’s a thin skinned rapey pedophile soulless Nazi ghoul Fuck him! And fuck CBS!🤬

Really is all bullshite, anyway. So why edit it ?

This was the standard procedure on the Apprentice reality show, per a long ago New Yorker article that questioned why the producers did not disclose this when they foisted this "dangerous violent madman who should be confined away from weapons and power" on us as presidential material in 2016.

BonFire3

TO BE FAIR-that idiot rambles incessantly and the incoherence would have been like watching one of his rally speeches. Not to mention they'd have to cut everything else to make room for his 40mins of crazy.

nodietofworms.bsky.social3

Swiss cheese for a brain. What is left that is "coherent" is the hate he has for everyone but mostly women.

Seabear2

Thanks for posting the unedited interview and thanks to those who have read it. I just can’t. Gaslighting bullshit.

bunnyjenkins.bsky.social2

This is what Team Trump does -throw out accusations -when the left dismantles or explains legality/obsurity based in fact - THEY then use that "liberals dismissed it" as a passive permissive avenue for what Trump does. I would guess, every accusion is a confession has THIS tactic hidden in it.

Beachbard2

@decodingfoxnews.bsky.social has had to branch out to "decode" a one-time premiere trustworthy news broadcasting network.

Jacqui2

Isn't this what he sued for when thru edited Kamala's interview? Who's going to sue now for this Frankenstein edit job??

Declassify UAP2

Huh, she didn’t bring up the fact that he actually wanted there to be no metal detectors on Jan 6, when he was organizing an armed mob to overthrow a democratic election. Seems at least a little apropos?

TOSsnitch2

I saw a MTV/VH1 Doc in 2006 (Daughters of Rockers) Ted Nugent's two daughters said he often had drug, alcohol, sex parties with very young girls (they looked meaning 12-14 year olds.) I would love to see the full recordings, what was cut out!

am-mccarthy.bsky.social2

OMG It was even worse than it looked?

Pinto Man2

Trump's nuts, he talks, I turn it off. No need to hear his cowardly sniveling voice. 😡

fatalflaws2025.bsky.social2

Rules only apply to those this arrogant ignorant sick regime dismisses.

Loudest Dog You've Ever Heard2

I was told that editing less than this was treason and worth a $1B+ lawsuit.

grippeminaud.bsky.social2

why wasn't Trump asked why he fired ALL members of the National Science Board the same day?

This is why we fight2

Wait - you're telling me what we saw was the edited version?

BcHanson2

There’s a lot of blame to go around for the media cleaning up after him.

Harrowed Sparrow2

I'm so damn sick of the blatant, unrelenting hypocrisy!

JLawBluDot2

And what aired was damn embarrassing for him. I can’t imagine the rest!

MMMurray2

They edited a whole lot of crazy out of the interview. Trump reminds me of Capt. Queeg in The Caine Mutiny.
